Note that the National Jewish Welfare Board was formed in early 1917, right after the U.S. declared war on Germany. Its purpose was to train rabbis to become chaplains, just as YMCA and other groups did to create Christian chaplains. In 1941, the National Jewish Welfare Board, along with the YMCA, the YWCA, the Red Cross, and other groups joined together to form the USO (United Service Organization), which provided help and comfort to American military personnel overseas.
